Equipment review - a11n C7 Carry pickleball paddle

Does it merit the review of being preferable over the Joola Ben Johns Perseus?!?

Well, for my part I was willing to take the C7 Carry (16mm) into my first big prize-money tournament ... and while it did not disappoint, I did (although my partner would graciously say otherwise).

This pickleball paddle from a11n (which I think is actually meant to be pronounced as "all-in") is the second one that I have from the company, and so far both of these sticks are pretty impressive.  I purchased it during Amazon Prime Days, and certainly believe that I got exceedingly great value for the money.

Here's my video review - hope you enjoy (and find it helpful)!

Equipment review - PCKL Pro Series pickleball paddle

 As my friend Brian has said, "it's like Christmas all over again!".


Well, for people like me who like to geek out about sports gear it definitely is!  And since we are still trying to fill out our complement of pickleball paddles (so that we have at least enough to play doubles with) I've been able to give a go with my third paddle in just over a month.  The bonus is that I was able to purchase this PCKL Pro Series paddle at 40% off on Amazon (even before Prime Days arrived), so the smile on my face is just that little bit wider.


Here are some of my preliminary (far-from-pro) thoughts on this "Pro" paddle!

So here's my take on the Zenith C8 paddle from A11N Sports:
